Isaiah 43:15-22 Common English Bible (CEB)

15. I am the Lord, your holy one,Israel’s creator, your king!

16. The Lord says—who makes a way in the seaand a path in the mighty waters,

17. who brings out chariot and horse,army and battalion;they will lie down together and will not rise;they will be extinguished, extinguished like a wick.

18. Don’t remember the prior things;don’t ponder ancient history.

19. Look! I’m doing a new thing;now it sprouts up; don’t you recognize it?I’m making a way in the desert,paths in the wilderness.

20. The beasts of the field,the jackals and ostriches, will honor me,because I have put water in the desertand streams in the wildernessto give water to my people,my chosen ones,

21. this people whom I formed for myself,who will recount my praise.

22. But you didn’t call out to me, Jacob;you were tired of me, Israel.
